“I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can plug their moribund economies together, it is equal to me, “he wrote in his Truth Social network.
The American president shows growing impatience towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, deaf to his requests for the end of hostilities in Ukraine.
On July 29, he gave Moscow ten days, until the end of next week, to end the combat under penalty of hard economic sanctions.
In his message that night, Donald Trump particularly attacks former Russian president Medvedev, asking him to “pay attention to what he says” and saying that he enters “in a very dangerous area”.
In a recent message in X, the Russian leader, current number two of the country’s Security Council, had written that “each new ultimatum was a threat and a step towards war” with the United States.
He also considered that the ultimatum given by the 79 -year -old republican leader was “theatrical”.
Donald Trump also, once again, violently attacked India, which has become the first target of its protectionist offensives.
“We have very few exchanges with India, their customs duties are too high,” he said.
Wednesday, he announced 25% customs duties on Indian products upon arrival in the United States from 1is August, adding that a “penalty” would be added for the purchase of Russian oil and weapons of which India is a large consumer.
Whatever the American president says, trade between India and the United States is far from negligible.
In 2024, New Delhi exported $ 87.4 billion in American soil products.
The country, which fiercely protects its domestic market, recorded a trade surplus of almost $ 46 billion with the United States last year.
